September 15, 2011

Written, produced and directed by Pakistan born and UK based filmmaker Faisal Aman Khan, the story of ‘Kaptaan’, a biographical film, follows the incredible life of Pakistan’s cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan. His life post the world cup victory in 1992. It follows the events that have shaped up his life. From being ridiculed in Cricket to being labeled as a playboy. Imran’s marriage with Jemima Khan and later what problems aroused in his relationships with Jemima. It centers on how Khan’s disappointment at Pakistan’s dismal state of affairs triggered him to enter the political arena. From the tragic death of his mother, to his efforts and endeavors in building the first cancer hospital in Pakistan.

The movie talks about Imran’s journey in his life and the entire transformation of a person from on field to off field. It is a story about a loving son, who set himself on a journey from which he would never return, a journey of selflessness, a journey of self realization, a journey into the ocean of his people… It is a tale of love so strong it crossed all boundaries, a man who gave up that love for his people, a hero who defied a dictator, a man who stood up for justice. His is a life more inspiring, motivational and relevant than any other man who has faced himself and asked the basic question of being. A hero, a living legend, a visionary, the lion of Pakistan, IMRAN KHAN!

The background score of the movie, has been composed by Farhan Zameer, which has a very uplifting and reflective feel. The director have also roped in a number of local bands and singers who have lend their voices to the movie including Noori and Abbas Ali Khan. And as Imran Khan has been a great fan of late Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan hence the soundtrack features two songs of the late Ustad – ‘Sanu Ek Pal Chain Na Aave‘ and ‘Yeh Jo Halka Halka‘.
